The 1969 Shelby GT350 featured a number of cosmetic changes from the year prior. The GT350’s front end was again extended, and a longer fiberglass hood with three functional air scoops was utilized. The GT350’s grille was also restyled, and its rectangular driving lights were relocated beneath the front bumper.
The GT350 was fitted with a wrap-around-style front bumper, and fiberglass front fenders, which were intended to reduce unnecessary curb weight. Each front fender also featured integrated air scoops, located just in front of their respective wheel wells. Additional air scoops were located to the rear of each door as well.
While the GT350’s front end had been extended, the car’s rear had been shortened and featured a noticeably “chopped-off” look. A shortened rear deck lid was fitted with an integrated rear spoiler, which was somewhat more pronounced than that from the year prior. Sequential rear turn signals were selected for use, as was a specialty aluminum exhaust collector that exited underneath the center portion of the GT350’s rear bumper.
The example offered here is a beautiful example with good paperwork and some desirable options. Powered by a 351 cubic inch 4 bbl V8, the 290 hp engine is coupled to a wide ratio 4-speed manual transmission and stopping comes by way of power front disc brakes. Power steering makes the car much easier to manoeuvre. The interior of the car is appointed with a fold-down rear seat, am radio, 8,000 rpm tach, 140 mph speedometer with trip meter, oil pressure and amp gauges, 2-point padded roll bar with inertia-reel harnesses. As an added bonus, air conditioning has also been installed. Rated at good-to-excellent, this example is not concours condition, but stands tall in it’s visual presentation as well as it’s strong performance.
Paperwork includes an original Bill of Sale, a Florida title, Marti Report and other various documents.
